England smashed 544 in the second innings and India were bowled for just 158 in the last dig, losing the match by 319 runs.

India were 219 for 4 at one point as Virat Kohli made a brilliant 119 off 181 balls. Ajinkya Rahane also did well, making 47 of 137 deliveries.
However, India lost their last five wickets within 25 runs as their last three batters Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami were all dismissed for ducks. South Africa made 244 in their first innings as India replied with 421.
